Scientific paper

Studies of the nuclei of normal galaxies have received renewed interest in the past few years partially due to new detector technology, particularly CCD's, used in both direct imaging and spectroscopic modes. This has led to the understanding that the nuclei of some of these galaxies are dynamically complex systems exhibiting unusual kinematic and photometric behaviour compared to the surrounding bulge. The most notable examples are M87 (eg. Sargent et al., 1978), M31 (eg. Kormendy, 1988) and M32 (Dressler and Richstone, 1987). High spatial resolution kinematic data of the nuclei of these galaxies revealed the presence of large increases in velocity dispersion and large velocity gradients over the central few arcseconds. Both of these studies concluded that a central black hole most adequately explained the very large increase in central mass-to-light ratio.
